Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Bedbugs are a Solved Problem - DIY Bio-Weapon works., published by sapphire on November 30, 2022 on LessWrong. Bed bugs are quite resistant to almost all pesticides; chemical extermination usually fails. Heat treatment works, but you need to heat infected areas to at least 120F. This can be pretty expensive. Landlords are required to pay for bedbug extermination, but they can opt for ineffective chemical treatment. Bedbugs are surprisingly hard to spread but are fairly resilient. Luckily the Beauveria bassiana fungus is an effective and cheap treatment. Spores spread where bedbugs will come into contact. Once they germinate, they kill the bedbugs. Spores spread from bug to bug. They also disperse into the environment and survive well as long as the environment is sufficiently humid. The spores can be made more durable by simply mixing them with mineral oil. The brand name Aprehend is Beauveria mixed with oil. There might be a cost-effective provider in your area you can pay to treat your home. However, DIY is very cheap. You can just buy Aprehend from diypestcontrol and spread it yourself. An even cheaper option is to buy Beauveria online and mix it with oil yourself. Unless bedbugs evolve resistance or the government restricts DIY, bed bugs are a solved problem.

In academia, most scientists publish their ideas and stop there. But if we want our breakthroughs to benefit society, we have to take it a step further.  So, what does it look like to commercialize scientific research? What mindset do academics need to work at the intersection of science and industry? Ben Lamm has a career of building successful deep tech businesses, and George Church has a career of commercializing academic science.  Together, they are the cofounders of Colossal, a breakthrough bioscience and genetic engineering company that is pioneering animal de-extinction technology to restore lost ecosystems for a healthier planet.  On this episode of Boost VC, Ben and George join us to explain how bringing back the woolly mammoth addresses climate change and explore their approach to the ethical concerns around de-extinction. They discuss the benefits of Colossal technology beyond Arctic rewilding, describing how their work helps endangered animals and promotes conservation. Listen in for Ben and George's insight on commercializing science and learn how to get comfortable enough with risk to turn academic ideas into industry. Topics Covered How George defines sciencePredict and create new options for humanityGoal to build better world Why Ben & George are bringing back the woolly mammothRestore previous ratio of grass to treesSequester carbon at rate only possible in Arctic How Ben & George approach the ethical concerns re: de-extinctionBelieve in radical transparencyLearn from negative feedback, people who question Why George works at the intersection of academia and industryLikes to work with curious young peopleExposure to diversity of ideas Why Colossal needs government collaboration and supportSeveral governments, Indigenous groups in ArcticClimate change, biodiversity and species preservation How woolly mammoths promote carbon removalKnock down trees so more grass can growCold, Arctic grasslands sequester carbon particularly well The benefits of Colossal technology beyond Arctic rewildingEradicate EHV virus in elephantsPromote species conservation How Ben & George think about commercializing scienceGo beyond publication to help societyFeedback from investors and academia What makes Ben & George's partnership workGeorge's lab provides idea from academic studyBen figures out product-market fit and funding George's advice to academics on commercializing productsCan't be afraid of failureCan come back from bankruptcy How Ben & George think about taking big risksBen believed grandmother saying he could do anythingAcademic failures taught George he would survive The impact Ben & George hope to make with ColossalEx utero development, species preservationThousands of Arctic elephants to sequester carbonAdvancements in reading and writing of genomes How Ben & George define successBenefit society, facilitate survival of speciesCreate things that are additive Connect with George Church & Ben Lamm Colossal https://colossal.comColossal on Twitter https://twitter.com/ItIsColossalColossal on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/itiscolossal/Colossal on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/itiscolossal/George on Twitter https://twitter.com/geochurchBen on Twitter https://twitter.com/federallamm Resources Citizen Science https://www.citizenscience.gov/#Personal Genome Project https://www.personalgenomes.org/How to Grow (Almost) Anything https://www.media.mit.edu/courses/htgaa/DIYbio https://diybio.org/Church Lab https://arep.med.harvard.edu/Hypergiant https://www.hypergiant.com/Pleistocene Park https://pleistocenepark.ru/Chris Mason Author Talk https://mitpress.mit.edu/blog/author-talk-the-next-500-years-by-christopher-e-mason/Prehistoric Planet https://tv.apple.com/us/show/prehistoric-planet/umc.cmc.4lh4bmztauvkooqz400akxav Connect with Boost VCBoost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVCBoost VC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/boost_vc/

Are you interested in the social impact of greater food security, access to nutritious ingredients, as well as, sustainable production methods both on Earth and in space?In this week's episode, I speak with Elliot Roth about his startup, Spira Inc., and how his team plans to disrupt the global supply chain by replacing harmful compounds with carbon-negative algae to create safer, locally-sourced products. We'll also discuss how algae-based products can support humanity's future in space, as well as, Elliot's recent analog Moon mission with HI-SEAS on Mauna Loa in Hawaii.My guest on the show, Elliot Roth, is the founder of Spira, a company that is developing algae-based products that will make communities on Earth more resilient and eventual communities in space more viable. After being trained as a University Innovation Fellow at the Stanford d.School, Elliot started multiple entrepreneurial projects including the DIYbio lab known as Indie Lab, TEDxVCU, and 6 failed startups. He graduated from the Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and spent five years consulting in product design and business strategy before starting Spira. Elliot has spoken at Synbiobeta, SXSW, and Thought for Food discussing the interconnectedness of social impact, synthetic biology and food. Support the show (https://donorbox.org/celestial-citizen)

Why does it matter what a specific kind of tomato is named—or who named it? Picking up the theme of seeds, history, representation, and changes to the land, Melissa and Wythe chat with tomato wizard Steph Gaylor of Invincible Summer Farms on Long Island about the birth of the modern seed industry—and why we eat so few of so many varieties out there. She tells us about the origins of the seed industry and how New York City fits in, and we learn the stories behind some fascinating seed varieties. We also interview a bioengineer, Will Shindel, about a non-profit tomato-hacking project that he and some friends started and almost brought into the world: a spicy tomato! It turns out tomatoes and peppers are cousins, and both evolved the chemical pathway to produce spiciness; tomatoes just forgot how. We get into the nitty-gritty of what genetic modification is, a new method called CRISPR, and why Will’s group wouldn’t try to patent their spicy tomato. It’s a wild ride through time!

Today I get to talk to Dr. Ellen Jorgensen, who co-founded the DIYBiology movement, inspired the world through her TED talks, and is now the co-founder of a biotechnology company using microbes as tracking tags. I had the good fortune to get to chat with Ellen and share my approach to life and we bonded over biotechnology, synthetic biology, and traveling to Alaska. One of the common themes I hear a lot is how people find their way into biotech through exploring the world rather than a simple path everyone follows. So listen to Ellen's story and take in all her great ideas! I hope you enjoy the conversation!

This whole episode can be summed up with the phrase "leave it to the experts." Let the scientists do the science stuff, let the astronauts do the astro stuff and let the podcasters do the Bigfoot's dick jokes. But these days, everything is a crap shoot and people who have zero credentials in anything are telling people the earth is flat, so f*** me, right? Might as well let a bunch of randoms try and science their way to a cure for herpes because why not? This week, join Erin and Nicole as they explore the seedy underbelly of Biohacking and all of hubris surrounding "DIY Biology."

Andrew Maynard and Heather Ross talk with senior researcher and DIY Bio expert Dr. Todd Kuiken at the 2018 Governance of Emerging Technologies and Science conference, about the present and future of DIY bio communities in the U.S. and worldwide.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Bionic Bug podcast! You’re listening to episode 7. This is your host Natasha Bajema, fiction author, futurist, and national security expert. First off, I have a quick personal update. Project Gecko, Book Two in the Lara Kingsley Series, came back from my editor last Monday. Good news: He likes it. Expected news: We can make it even better. As many of you know, I’m working with a developmental editor, Clark Chamberlain. He is the kind of editor who helps authors with plot, character arcs and development and any other story elements. It’s expensive, but I find it to be a smart investment in my future as an author. He helps me see my strengths and weaknesses as an author. I’m also revamping my website to prepare for my podcast launch. I bought a new Wordpress theme from Artisan Themes to make my site look more professional. I was so nervous about activating the theme that I waited for a whole week. It was really kind of silly, the amount of anxiety I expended over making the change. Last Sunday, I finally pressed activate, and I’ve been working to leverage the cool features of the new theme. Artisan Themes support has been amazing, so I highly recommend to anyone considering updating their look. Let’s talk tech news. Today, I’m getting up on my soap box and am giving you fair warning. I would remind you that these are solely my own opinions. You’re free to disagree with me, and I’m happy to have a debate. The headline for this week is from the New York Times on May 14 by Emily Baumgaertner: “As D.I.Y. Gene Editing Gains Popularity, ‘Someone Is Going to Get Hurt’”. The article opens by saying, “After a virus was created from mail-order DNA, scientists are sounding the alarm about the genetic tinkering carried out in garages and living rooms. Across the country, biohackers — hobbyists, amateur geneticists, students and enthusiasts — are practicing gene editing, concerning some bioterrorism experts.” Of course, it’s exciting to see the New York Times cover one of the current issues I find important, but this title and the intro are examples of sensationalism at their worst. Even if it raises some valid and important issues, this article was poorly researched and misleading. It appears that the journalist hand-selected a few examples of scientists behaving badly and scary expert quotes to support her bias that DIY Bio is dangerous. And that, is a disservice to humanity. Am I exaggerating? No, actually I’m not. Ms. Baumgaertner states in her article: “Authorities in the United States have been hesitant to undertake actions that could squelch innovation or impinge on intellectual property.” Yes, and there’s good reason for that. The majority of innovation in biotechnology is going to come from these start-up efforts. Breaking news: government and big industry are no longer leaders in developing cutting edge technology. Microsoft and Apple were started in garages and working with technology that would soon change the world. We could also say that the Internet is dangerous and someone is going to get hurt. The Internet was originally created to allow university researchers to communicate and share information. Even though cyberspace has its risks, and the risks are growing, most would argue that our lives have vastly improved as a result of interconnectedness. The United States has become a world leader in technology because of the start-up innovations coming out of Silicon Valley and other technology hubs. Who is to say that the next cure for a disease won’t come from a garage? What if we could finally understand where, when, how and whys of cancer? What if we could solve the diabetes epidemic with gene editing? Yes, we need to ensure adequate safety and security practices across the DIY biology community and inculcate a culture of responsibility. But Ms. Baumgartner draws strong links where there are none, and her article may mislead the general public about DIY Bio leading...

PANELISTS: JASON BOBE Jason Bobe is Associate Professor and Director of the Sharing Lab at Icahn Institute at Mount Sinai. For the past 10 years, Jason has been at the forefront of innovative data sharing practices in health research. His work on the Personal Genome Project at Harvard, and now three other countries, pioneered new approaches for creating well-consented public data, cell lines and other open resources. These efforts led to important changes in the governance of identifiable health data and also led to the development of valuable new products, such as NIST's standardized human genome reference materials (e.g. NIST RM 8392), now used for calibrating clinical laboratory equipment worldwide. More recently, he co-founded Open Humans, a platform that facilitates participant-centered data sharing between individuals and the health research community. At the Sharing Lab, he attempts to produce health research studies that people actually want to join and works on improving our understanding of how to make great, impactful studies capable of engaging the general public and achieving social good. He is alsothe leader of the Resilience Project, an effort leveraging open science approaches to identify and learn how some people are able avoid disease despite having serious risk factors. Last year, he was selected to be in the inaugural class of Mozilla Open Science Fellows. He is also co-founder of two nonprofits: Open Humans Foundation and DIYbio.org. SOPHIE ZAAIJER Dr. Sophie Zaaijer is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Erlich's lab at the New York Genome Center and Columbia University. Sophie is from the Netherlands, where she did her undergraduate in Music (viola) and Food Technology. For her Masters, she studied Medical Biotechnology at Wageningen University and went to Harvard Medical School to finish her thesis work in Monica Colaiacovo's lab. She next went on to do a PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics in Julie Cooper's lab at Cancer Research UK, London (now the Crick Institute) and at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda. Sophie focuses on genome technology and the growing impact of genomics on our daily lives. MODERATOR: HEATHER DEWEY-HAGBORG Heather Dewey-Hagborg is a transdisciplinary artist and educator who is interested in art as research and critical practice.

Welcome to DIYbio.FM, a new podcast exploring the state of the DIYbio movement. Each episode, we’ll be talking to experts and amateurs, working with communities and garage biologists, and even trying out DIYbio projects of our own to answer one question - are we really in the midst of a DIYbio revolution? Today we examine how the DIYbio movement got its start, looking back to why garage biology didn't take off in the 1970's and contrasting that with the present day where students around the world compete making genetically engineered machines. We even get our hands dirty (wet?) and extract DNA from a strawberry! In a conversation with Rob Carlson, we learn why the DIYbio movement is important, not only for our individual curiosity, but also for our economy.

Welcome to DIYbio.FM, a new podcast exploring the state of the DIYbio movement. Each episode, we’ll be talking to experts and amateurs, working with communities and garage biologists, and even trying out DIYbio projects of our own to answer one question - are we really in the midst of a DIYbio revolution?   Episode 00 - the very beginning. We’re starting simple this week (at least, we thought we were) by trying to define exactly what DIYbio is. It turned to be a harder question to tackle than we expected. To help us, we sought the expertise of some experienced DIYbiologists, including Bioeconomy Capital managing director Rob Carlson, and BioCurious community lab project manager Maria Chavez. To dive a little further into the question, we also took a look at who does DIYbio in this episode, landing an interview with wicked-cool artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg. Not only does Heather Dewey-Hagborg have a name you could joyfully repeat for ages (which we do non-stop in minutes 1:00-15:50 of Episode 00), she also shows us what DIYbio is through her project Stranger Visions. Links:Here’s a cool article on the Altair 8800 from Make Magazine.If you want to learn more about Rob Carlson, his book Biology is Technology, and his enterprises, check out his website here.BioCurious - the community lab in Sunnyvale, CA - has cool projects you can check out, as well as the bio for Maria Chavez.Heather Dewey-Hagborg’s project Stranger Visions, and her broader gallery of work, can be read about on her website.Follow updates from DIYbio.FM on twitter @DIYbioFM

Le Biohacking ou "Do-It-Yourself (DIY) biology", s'affirme depuis 6 ans comme un mouvement singulier du génie biologique non seulement en raison de la courverture médiatique dont il fait l'objet, mais aussi à cause de l'intérêt artistique qu'il suscite (voir l'exposition "Bioacking: Do-It-Yourself" organisé au Medical Museion de Copenhague en 2013-2014). Le titre de ce podcast renvoit à l'article de Morgan Meyer paru dans "Meta-Life. Biotechnologies, Synthetic Biology, A Life and the Arts", Leonardo ebook series, MIT Press, 2014.

We break hiatus to bring you a special episode. Our interview with Ben and Mary from the DIYsect Kickstarter project, trying to make a documentary webseries about biohacking, bio-art and all that awesome stuff! (Please excuse the background noise)

This week our very special guests are Antony and Kyle from the Glowing Plant Kickstarter. It’s a crowd funded project to bring genetically engineered bioluminescent plants on the market. Contributing could get you seeds, plants, and even more!
